As of commit 660c97eef6f8 ("ivshmem: use kvm irqfd for msi notifications"), QEMU crashes with: ivshmem: msix_set_vector_notifiers failed msix_unset_vector_notifiers: Assertion `dev->msix_vector_use_notifier && dev->msix_vector_release_notifier' failed. if MSI-X is repeatedly enabled and disabled on the ivshmem device, for example by loading and unloading the Windows ivshmem driver. This is because msix_unset_vector_notifiers() doesn't call any of the release notifier callbacks since MSI-X is already disabled at that point (msix_enabled() returning false is how this transition is detected in the first place). Thus ivshmem_vector_mask() doesn't run and when MSI-X is subsequently enabled again ivshmem_vector_unmask() fails. This is fixed by keeping track of unmasked vectors and making sure that ivshmem_vector_mask() always runs on MSI-X disable.
